The Domestiques
The Domestiques
They’re sisters! They’re lovers! They’re cross-dressing murders! Two maids
play out a sadomasochistic wet dream of killing their boss… until the line
between their fantasies and reality blurs. Two actors swap parts each
performance, role-playing servant and master, indulging their fantasies of
control and wealth while on the clock as housemaids. Inspired by
anti-capitalist metatheatrical play The Maids, Jean Genet’s response to
the Papin murders in 1930s France which he saw as an act of political and
social rebellion. Drag performance, audience interaction and
gender-f*ckery are utilized to explore rituals of repression and revolt.
